No problem! Thank you all for following along. We are very excited about becoming stronger in the social media networks. I just wish I had 12 hands to do all my other tasks. : ) Thanks again and please invite your friends to those pages!

I just answered your email asking if any conferences were closer to us then Washington, DC. : ) Guess I should have read this first. I am very interested in attending. I will bring this to Brian's attention. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! This is right up my alley, by the way!! : ) We do have 2 FB pages that I manage weekly. I just started them less than a year ago and we do see more and more page views and fans joining. I agree it could offer more. I wish my sole job was to keep adding to these pages, but my other tasks get most of my time. This is going to be my new focus though.<br />

There are conference opportunities coming up that I hope to attend. All about Social Networking.<br />

Thanks for commenting Terry and giving your input on the subject. We are all terribly busy these days and when you come home from the course, one of the last things you want to do is "pound the keyboard" as you put it. I think what's missing is the community is so strong offline that we are missing an opportunity to embrace the online community and bring it together on the course. Hopefully the PDGA is listening and can embrace the online community and leverage the strong ties like this forum…

Thanks Terry!<br />
<br />
Sorry but I did edit my post about 4 times so you may want to re-read it:)<br />
<br />
Also, your undying love and support for the game has been huge not just to Michigan golfers or players here on DGRUS but to everyone! Your insight and knowledge about social media networks has really been an essential part of the sport moving forward.<br />

Thanks for your comments, Terry. Even though my full-time professional job now includes responsibility for social media for my employer-organization, I too have trouble keeping up with it all. (Check out HootSuite, BTW.)<br />
<br />
I signed up at the $100 support level for the Memorial webcasting and look forward to your commentary. Break a leg!<br />
<br />
Note the support banner at the bottom of this and every page in DGRUS!

Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that there are SO many social outlets available these days, I rarely find myself here on DGRUS. I apologize about that but I think you'll soon see why. I am good friends with Terry Calhoun and I think I'm even member number 6 on this site! However, with all of that being said, I'm almost socially media maxed out. You guys are onto the right idea here but as the conversations have gone - what's next?<br />

Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that there are SO many social outlets available these days, I rarely find myself here on DGRUS. I apologize about that but I think you'll soon see why. I am good friends with Terry Calhoun and I think I'm even member number 6 on this site! However, with all of that being said, I'm almost socially media maxed out. You guys are onto the right idea here but as the conversations have gone - what's next?<br />
<br />
About me:<br />
My full time job is disc golf. I teach classes, I run leagues and tournaments, I work with youth groups, church camps, scouts, and corporations. I also sell all of the equipment, design courses, and play professionally. With that being said, it seemed to make sense that I create my own <a href="http://twitter.com/thediscgolfguy" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/thediscgolfguy" target="_blank">video blog updates</a>. Sure, I have my company website (which is just days away from a serious make over <a href="http://www.lifetimediscsports.com" target="_blank">www.lifetimediscsports.com</a>) and I also use other tools like Facebook, YouTube, Blip, the PDGA discussion board, Constant Contact, iRegisteredOnline.com, DiscGolfScene.com, and eBay all to help spread the word about disc golf, my services, and my products. I'm now incredibly honored to be a part of the core <a href="http://www.DiscGolfPlanet.tv" target="_blank">www.DiscGolfPlanet.tv</a> crew as well for our 2nd live internet broadcast.<br />
<br />
What is my point? I DO DISC GOLF FOR A LIVING AND I STILL CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT ALL. Now I'm not saying that the PDGA and others shouldn't be trying, I'm saying that if we all try - we should do our best to be the most efficient.<br />
<br />
Look at the blogs and sites started by so many of our top pros. Wait, most of them have fallen by the wayside by now (ie most of zonedriven). Primarily because they (understandably) are more excited about going out to practice, play, and teach clinics then to come back and pound away on a keyboard. Also, they find it tough to write a blog which can take an hour to type up when so many people are covering their moves via discussion boards, Facebook updates, Twitter, or even through live or wrap up event videos.<br />
<br />
I guess I have so many thoughts running through my mind right now that I might have gotten off track but I felt that I needed to reply to this thread and say the following. I LOVE the idea of incorporating and using social media to the max but the method(s) we choose must be concise and executed by people in it for the long haul because this is a LARGE undertaking.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I can check back on this thread next time I have a 'spare' moment :) Thanks guys! Sorry I missed this last mess…tag:discgolfer.ning.com,2010-02-21:1809917:Comment:20995562010-02-21T15:52:56.601ZRoy Morejonhttp://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/RoyMorejon
Sorry I missed this last message Terry; just wanted to add that I think you do a great job managing and keeping this community active on this social network. Continue the good work and I hope this conversation continues.
